Floor Screed

What is floor screed?

Floor screed is a factory pre-blended, cement-based floor mortar — just add water, then trowel it flat to level a concrete floor and give a solid, even base for tiles, flooring and other finishes. Compared with site-mixed sand-cement it is more consistent and faster-drying; compared with the self-levelling range, screed is hand-troweled and better suited to medium-to-thick levelling and correcting larger differences.

How to choose a floor screed

• Standard vs waterproof vs insulating — use a standard grade for general levelling; choose a waterproof grade (with integral hydrophobic additives) for wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens and rooftops; choose an insulating grade for rooftops and slabs needing thermal insulation.
• Screed vs self-levelling — use screed to build up thicker layers and larger drops; use self-levelling for thin smoothing and a fine base before SPC/vinyl. The two combine: build up with screed, then finish with self-levelling. See our complete self-levelling guide.
• Thickness & level difference — apply large drops in layers; follow each product's Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for recommended thickness.
